The Visibility Record
One question per entry, answered in full. What the assistants recommend, how they decide, and what moves the answer.
fundamentals
008Why doesn't ChatGPT mention my business?
AI assistants recommend businesses described in consistent, quotable language on pages they can read. Here is why yours may be invisible to them.
002Does good SEO mean AI assistants will recommend my business?
Search ranking and AI recommendation reward different things. A page can win every search result in its city and supply nothing an assistant can use.
001Why does ChatGPT recommend my competitor instead of me?
Assistants don't judge which business is better. They repeat which business the sources they trust already describe as better. That is a different contest.
dental
007What do patients ask AI assistants before choosing a dental clinic abroad?
Cross-border patients ask assistants about safety for months before they ask about clinics. Most clinics only ever compete on that last question.
accuracy
006What do I do if ChatGPT says something wrong about my business?
An old price, a closed location, a service you never offered — a wrong AI answer costs more than absence, because the customer believes it and never asks you.
measurement
005How do I check whether AI assistants recommend my business?
A method you can run yourself in an afternoon, with the four mistakes that make most self-checks produce a falsely reassuring answer.
004Why does ChatGPT give a different answer each time I ask the same question?
Ask an assistant the same question twice and you can get two different recommendations. That variance is the finding, not noise to be averaged away.
sources
003Which websites do AI assistants use to decide what to recommend?
When an assistant recommends a business, it is usually repeating a directory, a roundup, or a review page. Those sources are a short, addressable list.
Every entry here is general. The audit is the same method pointed at one business: your questions, your city, your competitors.
